well pegged the temp gauge and tonight I discovered previous owner didn't install a thermostat and the meziere isn't running.
I hate electric water pumps so I'm thinking about the evans.
I'm trying to decide if I should have Meziere rebuild or just change it out
Tom,
I'm running the newer style LS3 water pump on a 500rwhp 418ci LS3 motor in my '02 Z06. If you decide to use a GM water pump look at the LS3 as it weighs about 3-4 lbs less and the large bell on the front is smaller (flat vs. bell shaped) on the LS3 giving it less rotating mass than the LS1/LS6 water pumps. You will need a new t-stat for the LS3 water pump as the design is different.

Best of luck in your decision.
Thanks what does one of those cost and how do I get one?
Is that a dealer only item?

I sent you a pm. I got mine from a shop in Perryville, MO and they sell parts taken off new motors on that online auction site. You can search on LS2 water pump to find them.
Not sure why these mechanical pumps are so much.
I don't understand why the electric pumps are so much either at around $700
Cuz theres folks out there that want to make as much money as possible off of you because you have a nice car. American Greed.
Theres no reason they should cost that much but as long as we pay they will continue their dirty deeds. These vendors know who they are...jerks
